Signing off from ErikEmery.com for two weeks …
So I’m trying something new. For the next two weeks or so, Erikemery.com will go dark and I’m going to move all my blogging to ErikHanberg.com, which I’ve created using a service called Posterous. via erikemery.com We’ll see how this experiment goes. But keep checking here for updates!
